A Dutch Asiatic lining in

"Maybe you have . heard
about the Pastore-Walter Act
(Public Law; PI. 85.892), by
which it is possible for the
1 Dutch Asiatics to emigrate to
lz the U.S.A. But to get there
Z we must have a sponsor, an
American citizen who wants
J guarantee for us. Of course it
"J; lis not easy to get such a spon
jr?or. I am already registered
ijr?aa intending immigrant by the
ff American Consulate General
i in Rotterdam under registra
ftion number U.P. 55633805.
lif in( a spo1180' I asked the
assistance of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference,
;T,but I am afraid it is perhaps
5T not possible to find a sponsor
rfT? for me in such short term. I
have waited and I am still
waiting, maybe until K is too
1ate. because the last visa can
lEnot be issued later than June

bountiful ' supply of country
cooked food. v '.
" Officers elected for the

Carl Hover, of Central
Point, representing the
Grange Coop, Was a business
visitor here Saturday. He in
formed us that the Coop will
soon begin the construction of
a new plant at Ashland in a
new and belter location
which will replace the older
structure now in use. This
building will be equipped
with modern machinery and
will have more floor space,
needed to handle the increas
ing business in the Ashland
area. V :
Elmer Childers, who died
recently in Medford, lived in
this community, and attended
school here when a boy back
in the nineties. The Childers
family lived in the Billy Wil
son house, now a part of ' the
Table Top ranch. We were
school mates. Back in those
days boys had little chance to
earn money. We, remember El
mer had got what we called
those times, a two bit piece
(25 cents), and prized it so
highly that he kept it with
him at all times. Putting it in
his mouth one time, he got
careless,- and let it slip down
his throat, which worried him
for several days until he re
covered it.

The Alvin Hamilton family,
who have been living at the
E. C. Hamilton home for the
past several months, have
moved into a new home re
cently purchased in Medford.
Hamilton is at present living
at the Haven of Rest home in
Central Point, v
A miscellaneous shower was
given Saturday, Nov. 21. at
the . Orville Hamilton home
for Miss Raye Kemper, who
was married recently in Med
ford to Jim De Vault, r Both
parties are newcomers to our
community, and live at the
Modoc orchards where De
Vault is employed. - 't
A goodly number of the
Bigham clan gathered at' the
Ernest Smith home Saturday
night; to help Mrs. Frank My
ers celebrate their 71st birth
day. Guessing games furnish
ed .much' amusement, with old
time family photographs dat
ing as far back as the tin type
age, -' and ' representing the
first,' second, and third gener
ations -of the family being
used to see who could guess
what member of the clan po
ed for the picture. ,
At, a recent meeting of the
board of directors of the An
tioch Cemetery association, it
was decided to set Saturday
Dec.5, as the day to meet at
the cemetery grounds to do
some much needed work, in
cluding surveying and mark
ing each lot, repairing fence,
and a general clean-up. It is
hoped that all those who have
an interest in this burial
ground will be on hand this
day, or send someone-to-help
with the work.
Fred Smith and son, Wayne,
were recent visitors in Chica
go and Detroit, going by air
plane first to San Francisco,
then to ; Chicago and ; from
there to Detroit, by train. In
Detroit, they took delivery of
a Mercury car, which was
purchased from a dealer here.
The Table Rock Ladies club
will hold ' their December
send enclosed. I think that this
is the "one and only way to
find a sponsor. Iam sure that
I will succeed in my new
home country. I am young and
I will do any kind of work.

kindness I thank you from .the

New Approach To
Cancer Control
Thought Possible
Bloomington, Ind., (Science
Serviee)-A time table for a
normal cell's turning into a
cancerous cell, presented here
to the National Academy of
Sciences meeting, may hold
promise of a new approach to
cancer control.
In less than a week after
infecting chicken eggs with a
virus-caused cancer-Rous sar
coma virus-normal ceils will
have changed into cancer
cells, Dr. James Ashmore of
the Indiana university med
ical school, Indianapolis, told
Science Service. The changes
from .normal to cancerous
can be timed by the cell's ap
petite for glucose. . .
Infected cells have a vora
cious appetite for glucose, he
explained. In his studies, car
ried out withDrs. Richard
Uhl and Alvin S. Levine also
of the Indiana medical school,
Dr. Ashmore has been able
to relate changes in a cell's
affinity for and utilization of
glucose with its state of in
lection. .
Acid Production Changes
' As infection c o h t i n u e s
there are . certain changes in
lactic acid production, a re
sult of the cell's "eating"
glucoseand glucose utiliza
tion as high as seven times
that of uninfected cells, Dr.
Ashmore reported.
At this point, the scientist
explained, the findings are
mainly of interest because of
the basic information gained
on how cancer cells function
and get their energy supply
and how this differs from
normal cells.' However, there
is the possibility that some
chemical compound can be
found that will substitute for
glucose and trick the cancer
cell into utilizing it for. food.
With the cancer cell's great
er appetite for glucose, this
might mean controlling its
growth or even causing death
of the cell.
2 Money Measures May Make '60 Vote
Portland (UPD - City Com
missioner Ormond R. Bean,
Friday submitted a report to
the city council 'which could
put two' financial measures on
the May 20, 1960 ballot if
adopted. ' ' -
One measure would call for
an increase in the tax base of
about ' $45 , million which
would mean $10Q of , total
property tax this year, and
the tax in 1960 would be
$103.59. ' .
The other measure would
be a bond issue for completion
of the sewage disposal .system.
Exact amount of the issue has
not been determined. Esti
mates , in previous council
studies have ranged from 5 to
7 million dollars. "
